Loss of The Phloem-Expressed Sugar Transporter VST1 Reduces Aphid Performance In Watermelon
2021-08-17
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Aphids can damage plants through sugar withdrawal by hijacking sugar metabolism and transport genes to increase their sugar sucking ability. Blocking plant diseases and pest access to nutrients has emerged as an exciting strategy for improving disease and insect resistance in plants. Our previous work identified a shift in the localization of the vacuolar sugar transporter (VST1) that c...
